This week, we continue this crazy story with a new marriage, and the beginning of a NY Yankees career, next to names like Mickey Mantle. He also has mafia members offer to "take out" the guy playing in front of Joe, and even more sexual stories, including one, that certainly a prison worthy crime. Divorce, and mental breakdowns follow, with even more craziness happening!!

This week, we start a wild tale, featuring one of the biggest characters in baseball history! In this part, we hear more stories of fighting, and violence, than in any other 10 episodes, put together, with most of it directed at Joe. Whether it's his Dad, fighting whole neighborhoods, or Joe, being in gang fights, or getting shot at school... it's all crazy, all the time! Also, what could make a teenage girl, stay naked, o...

This week, we again prove the old saying "like father, like son", with the father of another CIS alum. He was also a boxer, and taught his more successful son everything he knew about the sport, but also beat him with extension cords, and used him asa human shield, in front of a shotgun wielding drug associate/relative. He would train his son, by day, and sling kilos of cocaine, by night!

This week, we look into someone who was a very promising college quarterback, until he started messing it all up. He caught on with the NFL, for a bit, but when he's accused of horribly beating his girlfriend, with pictures, and video to back it up, he's finished with the NFL. He's not finished with crime, though, as he keeps getting arrested, and playing football in Tijuana!!

This week, we check out a not very successful MMA fighter, who was arrested for just about anything you can think. Forgery, bad checks, drugs, assaulting pregnant women, counterfeiting money, selling bootleg DVDs, driving very poorly... and a double murder. He takes no responsibility for anything, and is awful at hiding his weed. It's Roshaun Jones!!

EPISODE 400!! We delve into a crazy corner of the wrestling world, "death matches", with one of the true masters of the medium. He stabs people with broken lighting tubes, gets set on fire, and has even severed an artery, and "died" for seven minutes. He also loves his pills, and would do anything to get them, including robbing a bank, wearing the same bandana he wore to the wrestling ring. It's "Hardcore" Nick Gage!!

This week, we head down under to talk about one the country's best rugby players. He also ended up in the NFL, and is praised for his athletic accomplishments. The problem is, he is also very accomplished in the field of "being accused of rape", which is much less sought after. He's paid settlements, and is currently sitting in an Australian prison!

This week, we look at a long time NBA mainstay, who had negative attention, from the start. He loves his weed, and lost a lot of money, and prestige, because players weren't allowed to smoke when he played. He also punched a female cop, in a bar brawl, and did a lot of interesting things, like adopt a girl, who he was falsely paying child support for!

This week, we take a journey, with a man who always says/does the craziest thing possible. He came from unthinkable poverty in Nicaragua, but ended up making millions of dollars. He smokes cigarettes & drinks beer, in the ring. Many of his criminal activities, like rape, fraud & assault get swept under the rug, apparently due to corruption, and his deal with that country's dictator! He is a quote machine, with insu...

This week, we head back to the brain damage sports, with a man who was a Super Bowl hero, with a Heisman Trophy winning son, but also a complete mess. He apparently dipped into everything from drugs, to counterfeit money, to stealing Lawrence Taylor's golf clubs, to even worse! Did his claims of brain damage finally get him out of federal prison??

This week, we head back in time, to cover a baseball player, who was always in some kind of trouble. In this first part, we talk about his quick rise to the top of the sport, and immediate needs for more money, and attention. The need for money leads him to have a stand off with the league, and be accused of throwing many games, for the purpose of gambling. Oh, and his wife barbecued a baby!

This week, we finish up this epic tale with our subject's life, flying downhill. His career is over, but his career with getting arrested, is really picking up steam. He fights at bars, he tries to make a "fat lass" feel good about herself, he makes hacky racial jokes, and goes to rehab, more times than we could keep track of. The only question is, will he survive until the end of the episode?

This week, we check back in with Gazza, as his life falls apart. He starts this episode out, saying that he is sober, and on the clean track, but ends up in multiple rehab stints, and being put in a mental health facility, for his own good. He continues to punch the wrong people, and get caught drunk driving. We also get to hear his second terrible song, and hear many stories of his wild behavior!!

This week, we dive back into the craziness of a very famous man, with even more famous problems. We pick back up with him, making a spectacle of himself in Italy. He also ends up as front page news, when his wife goes public, after appearing to have been beaten to a pulp. He seeks therapy, and tries to quit drinking... but that doesn't turn out well!

This week, we slam our way into the new year with a wrestler, who almost made it to the top, but his personality set him back. He seemed to lose his mind, when he was released by WWE, but a year later, he really unravels. A sudden & brutal murder, in front of the neighbors. Will he pay the price?

This week, we find out about a man, who always looked for the spotlight, and found it, in the NFL. He never liked to do what everyone else was doing, and that showed, when he was arrested for everything from pulling a gun on 2 cops, to beating a woman into a puddle, threatening Rex Chapman, participating in a team gang rape, and videotaping a horrible crime, that he committed, then trying to extort the victim, with the foo...

This week, we talk about a gentle giant, with a real liking of crack, and living in the streets. A first round NBA draft pick, who was in the streets, less than 10 years later. He went from a promising prospect, to screaming, bare chested during Utah winter, bashing in car windows, and swinging a prosthetic leg over his head. It only gets worse from there!
